we have reduced the federal deficit $70 billion. and senator bentsen voted against gramm-rudman, the very tool that has been used to bring the federal deficit down. we are going to need all the tools possible to bring the deficit down. we need the tools of the line-item veto. a line-item veto that 43 governors in this country have but not the president of the yunus -- united states. the president needs to have a veto when congress goes ahead and puts into appropriations bill unnecessary spending. let the president put a line through that and send it back to the congress and that the congress vote on it again. congress has got to help out in reducing this budget deficit as much as the executive branch. >> moderator: tom brokaw a last question for senator bentsen. >> you are running on the ticket with michael dukakis and a man who is opposed to the death penalty, a man who is in favor of gun control and at the same time you're running for the united states senate and the state of texas where your position on many of those same issues

the debt to gdp ratio the stake in parent in even sweeping comprehensive measures for reducing the deficit such as those that were subjected by simpson-bowles. i am under no illusion that the maintenance or achievement of rapid economic growth is sufficient to address issues of equity and debt. the experience of the american economy in the 1990s demonstrates you can have rising inequity even as you have rapid economic growth. but of this i am nearly certain: without rapid growth, without growth in excess of potential, there is no realistic prospect of alleviating the squeeze on those with middle incomes, without a rapidly expanding economy, there is no realistic prospect of substantial improvement in our achievement of equality of opportunity. i have lived and watched this in small metaphor, right near me. harvard has a bookstore, a large bookstore in harvard square. in the 90s when the economy is very strong and the unemployment rate is low and it is hard to find people to work, they send
